Hey guys,

So I am playing Elementalist, and I love the staff and some of the Tempest overloads, I am looking for a build that sort of does tons of damage but can also grant buffs to the group. This is a general build for PVE, Dungeons, and Fractals. I am currently using part of WoodenPoatoes’s Tempest DPS guide he showed on his YouTube channel, here is what I have. Do you have any other suggestions, or changes I should make?

GEAR
Armor:: Ascended Zerk, Scholar Runes
Weapon: Ascended Zerk Staff, Force and Night Sigils
Trinkets: Ascended Zerk

SPECIALIZATIONS
Fire: Top, Top, Middle
Air: Bottom, Bottom, Top
Tempest: Top, Bottom, Bottom

UTILITY SPELLS
Arcane Brilliance
“Feel the Burn!”
Glyph of Storms
“Aftershock!”
Glyph of Elementals

One of the neat things about this build is that I can Fire 2, and then Fire Overload and tons of damage comes from it. Not really sure how to utilize the other overloads, but I know that I do share some auras. I also dodge pretty well and can stay alive for quite some time, so I am not too worried about being too squishy, however, if you feel like building Toughness or Vitality could be helpful, to make things easier, please do tell. Let me know what you think about what I have so far.

Thank you.

You really need to switch Pyromancer’s Puissance to Persisting Flames. It’s the best GM trait for fire. Consider running some Assassin’s in there to min/max.
